Our title for this week's message is from John 8:32 saying, "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." The majority of John 8 is an in depth teaching by Jesus in which He is speaking the Truth in that He only speaks the Truth from God and that this Truth will set people free from their sins. This type of Truth from the heart of Jesus is vitally important so that all peoples of the world can understand who He is and how they can receive Him as their Lord and Savior.
Another Truth is changing lives in the Middle East and is also setting people free. The monthly publication from the Bridges For Peace Ministry shared the story of two Arabs who have learned and experienced the Truth about Israel which has set them free from all the mistruths about Israel spoken in the Arab world.
Yahya Mahamid is from the same home town of the terrorists who murdered two Israeli guards at the Temple Mount. He spoke out against this path of violence that his brethren chose and a quarter million Arabs heard his message. Additionally, addressing a world-wide audience he stated, "Israel is the best country for Arab Muslims." He speaks openly that the Jewish people offer him acceptance and friendship proclaiming, "He is a proud Israeli."
Sarah Zoabi is an Arab mother from Nazareth who describes herself as an "Arab, Muslim, Israeli and proud Zionist." This is an extraordinary statement since it is extremely rare that you would see those four nouns grouped together. Sarah explained, "I believe in the right of the Jewish people to have their own country." She also has a message for other Arabs, "I want to say to the Arabs of Israel to wake up. Compared to other countries, we live in paradise."
Yahya and Sarah have learned the Truth about Israel and it has set them free! Please pray for all the Arabs in the Middle East that our Lord God will also set them free. Bless His Holy Name!
May The Lord Bless You And Keep You This Day And Every Day,
Frank
